Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Home rehabilitation training
|
The rehabilitation training will be provided via Lumosity platform.
Participants will be asked to play computer video-games aimed at strengthening specific sub-functions pertaining to the macro area of executive functions for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for a total of 8 weeks.
Specifically, 20 games out of a total of 64 available games provided by the platform have been selected.
The selected games are aimed at training 4 cognitive skills: memory, attention, cognitive flexibility and problem solving.
In particular, 5 different games were chosen for each cognitive ability.
|
Active Comparator: Home control activity
|
The control group will watch a series of animated / TV shows suitable for the sample age, again for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 8 weeks.
The videos will be provided by the experimenter and participants will watch them on their personal computer.
At the end of each videos, participants will answer a series of multiple-choice questions aimed at evaluating the attention deployed to the content of the videos.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) (parent compiled for 6-18 years old participants)
Time Frame: baseline
|
Questionnaire for the assessment of emotional and behavioural problems. The CBCL 6-18 is aimed at assessing psychological adjustment and behavioral functioning of children, as rated by parents. This instrument provides a total score, an internalizing score and an externalizing score, together with 8 syndrome scale scores and 6 DSM-oriented scale scores. It contains 113 items. Raw scores of the Total Problems Scale range from 0 to 226. T scores (M = 50, SD = 10) are used to interpret the level of behavioral functioning. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. |
baseline
|
Youth Self Report (CBCL self-report version for 11-18 years old participants)
Time Frame: baseline
|
Questionnaire for the assessment of emotional and behavioural problems. YSR 11-18 is direcly compiled by adolescents aged 11-18 years. It provides a total score, an internalizing score and an externalizing score, together with eight empirically based syndromes and DSM-oriented scales. It contains 112 items. Raw scores of the Total Problems Scale range from 0 to 224. T scores (M = 50, SD = 10) are used to interpret the level of behavioral functioning. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. |
baseline
|
The Children's Quality of Life (TACQOL)
Time Frame: baseline
|
Questionnaire for the assessment of health-related quality of life. Scales (higher raw scores indicate higher quality of life)
|
baseline
|
Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF-2) (parent compiled for 5-10 years old participants; self-report version for 11-18 years old participants)
Time Frame: baseline
|
Questionnaire for the assessesment of executive function and self-regulation competence. The BRIEF (parent version) questionnaire is aimed at assessing executive functioning at home and school and contains 63 items. Raw scores of the global scale range from 63 to 189; T scores (M = 50, SD = 10). The self-report version contains 55 items. Raw scores of the global scale range from 55 to 165; T scores (M = 50, SD = 10). Higher scores mean a worse outcome. Subscale and Indexes
|
baseline
|
Theta/beta ratio
Time Frame: baseline
|
Low theta/beta ratio is a cortical activity considered an index of poor attentional resources.
Its recording will be conducted with a 32-channels EEG system at rest (4 minutes: 2 min eyes open and 2 min eyes closed).
